Jennifer Aniston, Demi Moore and Alicia Keys Cover 'Glamour' October 2011. Three amazing women talk to the magazine about 'Five', the project that brought them together, but also about husbands, boyfriends, family, love, relationships, tweeting, and what makes them giddy.

Three stars, three talented women, and three friends. Jennifer
Aniston, Demi Moore and Alicia Keys are Glamour's October 2011
cover girls. In the interview with the magazine, they talk about
'Five', a series of films about women and breast cancer airing on
Lifetime on October 10, and the message they want to convey through
this special project. Each of them has directed a film showing the
impact breast cancer has upon women’s lives, families and
friendships.

Jennifer
Aniston, who directed 'Mia', explains the necessity of
telling stories about breast cancer. "Because we don’t yet have a
cure, and cancer has grown 30,000 snakes out of its head. We need
to go at this Medusa with all the firepower we’ve got, from
research and legislation, to awareness and early detection, to
support groups and compassion for everyone who walks through this.
We need to show up for them, to talk to them, to not be afraid,"
she says.

The 42-year-old actress also speaks about the things she looks for
in a relationship. She told 'Glamour' that, "OK, in all
seriousness, I would say I couldn’t be in a relationship without
equality, generosity, integrity, spirit, kindness and humor. And
awesomeness."
On being 40, Jennifer says that, "Being this side of 40 feels like
what I should have felt being this side of 25: in my body, in my
heart, happy with my life, and OK with whatever bumps in the road
present themselves."

Demi Moore directed the Five film 'Charlotte', saying the story
of a little girl who watches her mother die of breast cancer and
decides to help others fight the disease.

On what made her direct this film, Demi says that, "I’ve known
people affected by breast cancer, and since I finished the project,
someone in our family has also been diagnosed. But I think that so
often there is that “out of sight, out of mind” feeling, like
breast cancer is happening to other people, not you. Before this
project came up, even I really didn’t want to pay attention. I feel
that this came to me to make me pay attention. What I’ve learned
from all the work Ashton and I do is that we so often don’t address
any cause with enough urgency."

Speaking about what makes her giddy, the 48-year-old actress admits
that, "I’m an old-school romantic, so I get giddy when Ashton shows
me another way of saying 'I love you' — any little thought or
gesture that’s playful or sweet. We leave Post-it notes for each
other; some have been sticking up for five or six years! For me,
it’s the small things. The first day of filming Charlotte, Ashton
sent this bouquet of soft blue flowers with a card that said, 'I
believe in you.' I put them in this little room that I parked
myself in while we were shooting in the rest of the house, and that
was the room that we shot my movie’s final scene in."

Alicia Keys directed 'Lili', a film about an independent
35-year-old woman who is diagnosed with breast cancer. "Kristin
[Hahn] and Jen called me up; after I read the scripts, I felt like
this was something important, and I wanted to be a part of it. I
chose Lili because she’s close to my age and I understood the
family dynamic. I had an immediate idea of what I could bring to
it," the singer told 'Glamour'.

In the interview with the magazine, Alicia also dishes on her
relationship with her husband, Swizz Beatz. "It’s beautiful because
rarely, I think, do you find a relationship where you can
experience things equally. In fact, I think that’s my favorite word
and the most important word when it comes to relationships:
equality. And that’s what we’ve been able to find. We encourage
each other equally. We’re excited for each other," she
confesses.

The 30-year-old singer also recalls the moment when they fell in
love. "I do remember the exact moment. If I told you, I would have
to kill you, but it was something that he planned, and he planned
it so beautifully and thoughtfully that in that moment I remember
thinking to myself, Oh my God, I’m so in love with him," she told
'Glamour'.
